How do you broil a steak in an electric oven?

It’s a delmonico and we were going to grill but its raining. Can you broil a steak in an electric oven? Any other ideas on how we can cook these?

Does the electric oven have a grill function? If so, just grill the steaks in the oven. If not, just heat a pan on the stovetop and cook this way. Oil the steaks, not the pan.

turn on the broiler part of your oven and let it get hot in there…about 5-10 minutes. Place your steaks on some broiler-type pan that will let the drippings fall (as opposed to a pan or sheet)
Place the steaks about 6 inches from the heating elements and cook approximately 6-7 minutes on each side.
As they cook, leave oven door open just a crack. (I close mine all the way but this was something they said so I’m passing it on)

After taking out of oven, let sit for a few minutes…steak will continue to cook on the inside from the heat it has absorbed.

btw – it creates a little amount of smoke, but not a ton of it

-steaks should be room temperature, so they won’t be cold on the inside when cooking starts. that will cause cooking to be uneven. Leave them sit out at room temperature for about 1 hour

-If you want to seal in juices, get a pan very hot and set in the steaks for just a few moments on each side…maybe about a minute or so, maybe shorter…not long enough to cook the steak on inside but just seal the outside so juices stay in once it starts broiling.

Your oven should have a broil setting which will turn on only the top heating element. Put the steaks on a broiling pan so the juices will run off and broil with the rack a few inches from the heating element..
